Will we be playing other towns? Yes, the plan is to play our own Wilton teams for the first few weeks then have a couple Jamborees with other towns.

What time and day will the practices be? We will have a 60 to 120 minute practices every week where we have designed the beginning of each practice to teach the fundamentals of Flag Football in a progressive format, Where we build on what was taught the previous week so the players learn more advanced techniques each week of the season.

What time will the games be on Saturdays? We will try not to have a game earlier than 10am and no later than a 5pm start. We will do our best to adjust our game times around other sports so our players can do more than one sport without having to race from one field to another. Currently we play 2 games an hour at Upper and Lower Middlebrook with exact starting times at 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2:30pm and 4pm.

Do I have to be a Wilton resident to play? Yes, this league is for Wilton residents only. However we will allow a non Wilton resident to join us as long as your town does not have a flag program and as room allows in our Wilton program.

Can I choose a specific coach, team or friend to play with? No, all teams are drafted each season based on preferred practice days and player evaluation history. However you can request to play with a certain player or that a certain coach draft your child, all requests will be added to our draft notes. There is no guarantee that you will be on a specific team or with a certain player, but your odds increase when we add the notes to the draft process.

Will all teams be perfectly balanced? No, our goal will be to balance the teams the best we can. However a perfectly balanced team is almost impossible because a teams success can be based on a coaches knowledge and skills as much as a players abilities and potential. All players learn and progress at different rates, so a team can start off slow and end up being one of the best teams. Our goal is to have each team perfectly balanced but its most important to us that the players have the most fun possible!

What equipment do I need to play? The only piece of equipment that you need to supply is cleats (Mouthpiece is recommended but not required). You will receive a Reversible NFL Flag Jersey and a NFL Flag belt when you register. You can wear any pair of shorts you want but NFL Flag prefers all shorts are solid dark colors and without pockets. Its very important that your shorts do not match the color of your NFL Flag, yellow or green in any way.
